Do Not Get Depressed, Uncertainty Is a Tool for Discouragement


In Jide Olowookere's words; "In uncertainty, there is wisdom" I have learnt that life is just beautiful, but the challenges are numerous. Uncertainties sometimes come as doubts,  fear in the mind of the individual faced by some responsibilities, and sometimes the possible outcome of a deal. A beggar on the street depends on the alms given by passersby, and when passersby ignore the beggar, he feels downcast and he begins to wonder how to survive in this terrible world. Some wise beggars saw the uncertainty of humans in giving alms, and they found alternative by taking up some menial jobs, cleaning, truck pushing, bus conducting etc.

Amidst uncertainty of lovers in a relationship, so many hearts have been broken that some think of what is next as giving their hearts away to the devil. A wise man shouldn't forget that in all engagements in life, expecting the unexpected is paramount so as not to be worn out in cases of disappointment. You can put all your eggs in one basket, but be careful in your placement. When one begins to place eggs in different baskets when relationship is concerned, you might end up breaking those eggs in the process. Wisdom, they say is profitable unto men, and a wise man often seems like the most favoured when things turn out to be good

As an entrepreneur, so many fortune has been invested to build up a business, you think of the success and also the failure, but as you think about the two possibilities,  extend your tentacles by replicating your ideas. If business B fails,  business A will be successful, the need to have more than one source of income is emphasized.

A pregnant woman dreams of when she will go into that labour room, thinks of how the baby bump will come down, when the baby cries will be heard,  what the gender is,  how many it will be,  triplet, quadruplet, and how painful it will be in that room where fate and mankind battle for existence, but amidst all these uncertainties, the mother still needs to go on baby things shopping. There is wisdom in preparation for delivery and constant care of the body to avoid the guesses of uncertainty.

Above all,  whatever the lyrics of our song is,  we must make the beat rhyme with the rhythm so as to make all our efforts protruding, glaring, clearly stated that amidst the uncertainties, we have done our best to actualize the goal. Our efforts made positively is regarded as the wisdom applied when faced with uncertainty.
